Taylor Momsen upskirt shot

Oh Taylor. You were once so cute and innocent. Now look at you – black thigh-high garters, slip dress, Courtney Love rat’s nest hair and gothic black eyeliner. We’ve seen it all before. This is your signature style – how you separate yourself from the Miley’s in the actress turned pop star game. That sneaky little upskirt shot from your live Concert in Carson couldn’t have been an accident. You much know you can’t wear a dress that short on stage and not flash a little panty here and there. I don’t think you care though. I’ll admit, I have an inexplicable distaste for Miley Cyrus. It’s a problem, but for some reason, I like Taylor Momsen. Maybe it’s because she’s doing something different. Maybe it’s because she has attitude. Maybe it’s because she isn’t everywhere like Ms. Cyrus. But please, Taylor. You’re not even seventeen. Put on some damn pants before I have to start having a problem with you too. You don’t have to flash your panties to be a rock star. A little talent helps though. At least you have that.

Taylor Momsen is pretty reckless

Get it? Because her band is called The Pretty Reckless. Yeah, lame, I know. Anyway, moving on. I don’t really know what I think of Taylor Momsen anymore. It seems like every move she makes is premeditated to make her look as bad ass as possible, but the more out there she gets, the more innocent I believe she is. Sure flashing her underage breasts on stage at one of her most recent gigs turned some heads. I, on the other hand, just rolled my eyes and yawned a little. It’s old news. This is what we know about Momsen. She has no problem talking about masturbation and her love for her vibrator. She blames her parents for her behavior because they pushed her into acting. I happen to think that’s probably the truest statement that’s ever come out of her mouth. That said, Taylor – performing here at The Academy in Manchester – is no more of a wild child that her pop culture counterpart, Miley Cyrus. The difference is Taylor wants you to think she’s as bad ass as Miley probably is. She isn’t though. She’s a little girl trying to play ball with the big kids – and she’s striking out. She comes across as a sad girl desperate for attention and I’m guessing that’s really closer to the truth.

Taylor Momsen Hot Gossips

Taylor Momsen is a little bit of the worst on "Gossip Girl" -- it ain't no secret people -- but the girl knows how to record a song.

Taylor, and her band known as The Pretty Reckless, premiered their 4-track EP on Billboard.com today and it is filled all kinds of vocal raspy brilliance. The self-titled set will hit iTunes on June 22, and consistsof the bands first efforts at conquering the pop rock world. Think early Courtney Love mixed with Jet-like guitar riffs and The Veronicas' vocal backings.

I like to imagine little Jenny Humphrey attending some random concert where The Pretty Reckless perfoms and leaves her head spinning. Then there is this whole "Parent Trap"-like storyline on next season's "Gossip Girl," which ends in some really bad "let's switch places" cliff hanger. That would be boss.

"Make Me Wanna Die,"the first single from Tay-Tay and the gang, can be heard with the rest of this EP below and in person June 25 - Aug. 15 when they hit the road with Vans Warped Tour.
